@colinstone: "I have what appears to be a CAV agglomerator (1/2in UNF connections) -
it has a short metal cylinder in place of where I would expect to find
a filter element.  Can I replace the metal cylinder with a filter
element to use as a normal filter.
While I am here, how many amps/milliamps can I draw off the Smartbank
relay connections to drive a battery exhaust fan???  My SB is on a 24v
system and the voltage across the relay connections is 14v, or one
connection to earth it is 24v.  I'm working out whether to use PC
style fans on an inline fan.

The agglomerator came in many guises, but there was a version with filter on top
(bowl-less filter) and water collector below. 
7111-296 I think is the bowl-less filter element part number.

Yes you can (Delphi 296), but you have a sedimentor which removes about 80% 
of the water (the other 20% being in find droplets), but it does so with 
minimal resistance to flow. You may need a longer through bolt or an 
extension piece.
I would advise that you fit an agglomnerator after this so it removes close 
to 100% of the water but does not block too readily because the one with the 
filter is only removing and storing 20% of the water. This will save you 
storing water in the engine filter that gets shaken around.
My advice is to stick to Lucas/CAV Delphi or Mann & Hummel elements for the 
agglomerator because they work slightly differently to most others and are 
(in my view) likely to do a better job.

Make sure that your exhaust fan is suitable for explosive atmospheres.
I remember a newspaper article about a guy who attempted to clear the
petrol fumes from his petrol tank, so that he could weld a leaking seem.
He used the vacuum cleaner and hose.  As soon as the fumes reached the
brushes, he knew more about it.

    @grahambrooker: "I was sold a very similar sedimentor when trying to buy a suitable filter 
unit.  Another supplier sold me a simple long bolt to replace the short one 
and a metal drain plug to replace the standard plastic one to comply with 
the BSS.  I then removed the plastic internal cone and fitted a Delphi CAV 
296 filter directly in between the bowel and the top.  I then added a hand 
primer pump on the inlet using a banjo bolt to make it easier to fill/prime 
when changing the filter.  I am very pleased with this setup.

3 amps
One of the terminals is the +ve power supply. The other switches to GND 
to complete the circuit. However it pulse width modulates it to reduce 
relay coil consumption so generally you will find the fan will run at 
half speed. Hence you measuring 14 volts on it instead of the 28 volts 
charge voltage. You could use a small cube relay energised by smartbank 
and use the contacts to power the coil.
